I like it, I think it looks great. The led tails, the huge stockish looking rims, the subtle exterior mods all look great! I always wished someone would just make stock rims but bigger and wider, I think that would be a big hit.

That is one CLEAN setup. Much win to be had.

10 Stars!

It's a good thing you painted the hood already.

Camera is a Nikon D50, I kinda have a technique to taking pictures of dark cars to get the color to really show. Real pics coming soon when my own little projects are complete.

Yeah, front needs something...but stay tuned for a lil extra special something, haha.

As for the headlights, we can't decide if they should be painted or not. Thought it might make the car look too Tuner, or at the very least, there would be too much black going on.

That car looks great! Those wheels make it look whole from front to back if you know what I mean, there isn't one thing that takes the eye away from the car as a whole. 22 inch chrome draws the eye to the wheels first and the car 2nd. Well, that's how I look at it.
I just got a Black 04 and was debating on 18's or 20's and I think seeing this made my mind up. Oh and I don't think it needs any more drop but that may be just me.

Id keep them the way they are. As I was looking at your car I thought the next to come would be the headlights being painted but when I pictured it it wouldnt have been great. It would be too much black and throw the overall look of the car off. Keep them the way they are.

Certainly is one of the top three best 6th Gen's out there. Clean, sleek, classy, sporty, and tasteful.

In my opinion these look waaaay better than the chrome 22's. I have always liked the vortex's and 5 spoke is the way to go.

Tell me Ms M., is there a difference in ride quality, braking, or acceleration?

Again, your car is absolutely amazing.

Wow! Thank you so much for the compliments! I'll take that top 3 honor!

OK, well I had the chance to ride around on stock wheels for about two weeks (well, stock 17" Altima wheels), and of course I was on 22's for almost three years. Even though these are 20's, and not to much smaller than the 22's, I can definitely feel a difference in the ride. The acceleration is much quicker, and I don't feel the car struggle to haul the wheels. I'd have to say the acceleration is about right in between the stocks and the 22's. There's a nice difference, even in braking. Also, the Nitto tires have that hard sidewall, and I can definitely feel the difference in stiffness taking turns and such. All around, I am SO pleased with this decision.
